When we had to switch on short notice to online methods for an important strategy meeting, with her help and guidance this turned out as successful as an in-person meeting could have been."

We received great post-workshop documentation. It was a great experience altogether!"

"Simone Cardoso's talk "Why writing job applications is outdated" was really a big help for my continued search for the right job. How good that someone like her deals with this topic on such a professional level! I think that all graduates should be taught about these issues. That would spare many people a good deal of frustration and confusion."

In addition to her convincing methodology, the coaching success was also largely due to the fact that I felt very comfartable during the process.
